Kate Tsui Will Be Gang Raped in “Highs and Lows”

Kate Tsui’s (徐子珊) “Drug Queen” role in new TVB drama, Highs and Lows<雷霆掃毒>, is already generating early TV Queen buzz. Originally an informer for the police, Kate’s character will be gang raped, pushing her to become a drug dealer and sacrificing her romance with Raymond Lam (林峯).

Veteran actor, Lee Ka Ding (李家鼎), will portray one of the rapists in Kate’s violent gang rape scene. Kate said, “Yes, it’s a very terrifying and pitiful situation.” Aside from dealing drugs, Kate will also be addicted to drugs. “I have a scene in which my drug addiction will kick in. My tears and snot will rush forward.”

Although Kate has portrayed a police officer in five dramas in the past, Kate’s current drug dealer role is an acting challenge and marked departure from past typecasting. Before filming Highs and Lows, Kate researched drug-intake and learned how to play drinking games to make her onscreen performance more realistic. Hoping that her character will create more “noise” leading to additional money-making opportunities, Kate said that she will be filming a mainland Chinese drama later.

Ella’s scenes have been completely cut from Highs and Lows promotional trailers, which feature Kate Tsui prominently instead. Regarding this, Ella shakily said, “TVB has treated me very well. I hope they will not cut my scenes! My company has asked the producer, who said that my scenes were not cut!”

The majority of the cast members wore bulletproof vests and carried guns yesterday, speaking of their roles in the drama. After breaking into “good” versus “evil” teams, the cast played firing and dart throwing games. The “good” team, consisting of Raymond Lam and Ella Koon, lost in the contest and had to stand beneath balloons which were popped above their heads, showering them in confetti.

Jayne: Kate’s character design does stand out more than Ella’s role. However, Kate’s media exposure this year has not been as strong, compared to last year’s Lives of Omission, when it aired.

We’re almost heading towards October and aside from Tavia, Kate may make a good competitor in the upcoming TVB Anniversary Awards, from TVB’s standpoint.

There have been many rape/gang rape scenes in the past…….no actresses ever really break out into stardom after such scenes. The tv stations really just promote these scenes to get higher ratings cause they know there are thousands or horny men around the world that would love to fantasize doing these things to the actresses………..wake up kate.

Good character design is only a start, good acting is what draws the audiences in to believe in the character. When the audience cannot imagine anyone else doing as much justice to the role, you can then definitely say it is the actor that made the character. And I’d say that was the case with Michael Tse — Laughing was indeed a very well-written character, but it was Michael who took and owned the role, giving him the body language and facial expressions and various quirks and basically becoming a breathing and living Laughing to the audience.

Gang raped, police informer, take drugs until tears and snot come out, play drinking games until drunk, become drug dealer and lost love of her life, what else?

Might as well make her family members killed and die in her arms? Preggy with her rapists child? Thrown in jail pregnant? have gun fight with her love Raymond Lam? Ok these are all just my suggestions.

LKF1 & 2, Sex & Zen (note I didn’t waste my time seeing these) are soft porn movies generated towards those who wanted cheap thrills. Many people used to target Wong Jing for putting up movies with a bit of ‘sex’ like women with good cleavage, etc, but at least his movies are funny and with a bit of reservation.

Most tv stations want good ratings and especially now with CTI starting to shoot, it’s normal tvb wants to go one further and I’d say cast members are up to the challenge. Having said that too many ‘rape’ themes do become boring.

I think Exoidus meant evil role like rapist etc.. and LF will never get any evil role from Txb. Its still ok to get a poor role but with good intention. That’s why I always say LF should consider of taking evil role, maybe that will win him an award or something. He’s always in this goodies shoe for quite sometimes and its getting boring.

Oh really, so he has played a poor guy before. I have not seen him in any China series yet. Really?? It would be great if he can reunite with Michelle… I have not seen them together in a long long time. Will it be a series or movie?? I hope they will be in another series together again. It would be great to see them reunite since I really miss seeing them as a couple.

But I don’t hope to see him as evil in Txb now because I disappointed with Txb’s “scheme” already. He can have his chances on movies as movies dun have the limitation of rate like TV. He only has 4 more series with Txb in the future, unless he will renew his contract. So with his right of choosing series starting from HAL, I hope he’ll have good decision. HAL is a good decision already.

@HTS: He did act poor guy in Survivor Law. The China series I mentioned is that he acted hot-temped guy.

For the upcoming China series with Michelle Yip that he is going to act, they will act a couple the third time. Its name is 紫钗奇缘 (The love story of purple hairpin). It’ll start next month. Confirmed that they will act couple, and the better is that it’s an ancient series.

@Fox,
I don’t think I saw Survivor Law so don’t remember him playing a poor guy. Thanks for the info though.
Thanks for letting me know about their new series too. I think I heard about that series but was not sure who would be in it. It is great that they will be a couple in an ancient series again. I can’t wait and hope that the story is good since I don’t just go for cast. The plot/story/script is the most important thing in a series.

It’s about a dancer (Michelle) in Tang dynasty and her love with two guys – a general/hero (with the secret about his identity – acted by LF) and a scholar. It based on an old novel, similar to their 2 previous “Yuen” aka Eternal happiness and Lofty water verdant bow. I think it looks promising.

Dunnoe yet. The full cast isn’t revealed. Up to now only know that the dancer (main lead) is Michelle, the wanderer aka general (main lead) is LF, the heroic girl (2nd main lead) is Tammy Chen. Other ppl will take part in this series are Benny Chan, Kingdom Yuen and several Chinese artists.

I forgot to mention that the scholar will dump the dancer and run to the heroic girl, but the heroic girl loves the wanderer. However the wanderer will only love the dancer. Square love. The scholar seems to be a xiao ren :P.

They are evil alright but you wont see Lf acting those downgraded roles such as lunatic rapist and h0rny stalker yet. Sometimes evil role like the one that Gallen acted before can be very attractive and stylish and will usually leave a deep memory in audience hearts.

I said to you Veejay, these roles can be found in movie but not Txb now, especially for leading actor. Do you see Gallen in downgraded villain roles in his latest series with Txb? I can’t recall of any roles like this acted by Txb siu sangs as well.

He said that he wanted to act psycho roles or serial killer with metal problem, but he knows TV has limitations so he also put his bets on movie.

He has just filmed a thrilling movie, maybe his role there can be a killer.

@fox,
Wow, thanks for the info! Do you know who the author of the story is? If it is based on a novel then I really hope that they will stay true to the novel unlike what they did to EH. Maybe I should go and read the novel to see what the story is about. Great to know that Tammy Chen will be in it as well. I loved her and Michelle in TXDY. They were so funny and cute. Great to know that Kingdom and Benny will be in it too. I can’t wait to know more about the series and thanks for the link!!

@Fox,
Thanks for letting me know!! I just skimmed the info in the link since I often get really lazy to read. I will come back to link and read it more clearly. I often get lazy to read the news in this site as well and usually just skim it which is why I often respond asking questions that have already been mentioned in the article. Gosh, what a bad habit and that’s what I get for being lazy…. Thanks again!!

I’ve watched on dvd The Accused starring Jodie Foster as the gang rape victim and Kelly McGillis as her lawyer. And yep, Jodie Foster won her 1st Oscar for Best Actress for an intense and riveting performance. Let’s see if Kate’s performance can get her TVB BA award.

Clamine,
With how media publicity is building up, I feel that Tavia might have a better chance with BA.

The public seems to have accepted Tavia and Him as couple too…so her future romantic rumors will likely only boost her exposure even more.

If “Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles” has decent ratings, I think Tavia will win the award. SSSS also has the makings of a classic TVB crowd pleaser for the older audience, with the family inheritance battle and multiple wives battling for Damien’s affection.

19 Dec, of course to promote the SSSS. If it is a flop then I will laugh at Txb. Before they changed to 5 Dec for BTROC and it has many criticisms. Now they delayed longer, to 19 Dec for SSSS and we know how.

My only hope for SSSS stays in Damien. I also wanna know how Rebecca Zhu act.

LOL no offense but after the TY Himhim car shock, Himhim is the one who has lots of positive articles but TY is hiding silent and is becoming a laughing stock among netizens for her dumb reflex and drunkenness.

Actually TY didn’t get any bad news too from what I understand.. Tabloids said they had sex in the car but ppl who have common sense will know that TY was just drunk and Him was fully clothed. If they really “had” it in the car, I doubt HIm Law will have enough time to put back his pant..

I thought she was “drunk” and not hiding from paparazzi? It’s contradicting. Someone tell me, if you are drunk, and vomitting, will you double over in that position, it’s very uncomfortable. Try sitting that way when you are feeling unwell, and it will feel even worse.

Haha at everyone talking about rape scenes = awards. Personally I think that rape scenes are just so incredibly emotional and so violent that not many actresses are capable of doing it well. It’s not as easy as screaming and just crying, as people seem to think it is, and it’s not a big sexual thing – it’s highly emotional and it’s the aftermath of such an event that may win an actress an award not the actual scene. Personally, I can’t wait for this and I’m more interested in the drug addiction scene. They need more shows like this in hk to bring more awareness to such things, which was why I loved Beauty of the Game.

geez, isn’t it too early for all the buzz of kate competes for award, let wait and see how her acting would turn out in H&L first. but then again, if myolie could win best actress for a lousy acting in that crappy role in a not so good series, anything is possible after that lol.

If Kate’s acting is terrible in HAL but still can win due to the rape scene, then you can say such thing. But if Kate’s performance is good in HAL including the rape scenes, this Best Actress title can be issued to her with full meaning.

I can’t put my finger on it… but something has changed with Kate. Back when I first saw her in “Short of Love” and “14 Blades” she had a very exotic/sultry look about her face. In almost all the photos over the past couple of years that has completely disappeared.

Based on my first two movies that I saw her in, I NEVER would have guess the above photo was of Kate… EVER. Doesn’t even look like the same woman…

I’d be disappointed if TVB shows Kate being forced to a room, then wakes up next day crying. I’d say Kate would be bruised and battered, all covered in tears. TVB wants Kate to stay, so she will be rewarded, I mean awarded.

It might be worse I saw a short shot of it at the end of the MV that showed her face down crying, I believe that would be the rape scene, they might even show some of the process of it which can be quite disturbing. It’s all about how well she does in this series and from the first couple of episodes she’s done really well.
